Complicated Emotions

Written by DesertKactus

Rating: Teen and up

Being a typical mother brings it own special set of emotions. Being the mother to the Orici brought not only those, but an extra dose of complicated emotions – ones not so easily navigated. A look at the inner turmoil Vala Mal Doran must have felt over the child she never got to keep. Vala centered with team/friendship, and some Daniel/Vala sprinkled in.

My notes:

Sigh. I love them. And I love our girl Vala. She deserves Daniel and Daniel deserves her and they deserve everything they want in life. This is a great ‘moments in time’ piece showing some key moments through season 10, AoT, and beyond that drew Daniel and Vala together.

Vala remembers fun times with Daniel and her friends while making a scrapbook. Be warned that some chapters are kind of sappy.

A series of scenes starting immediately after 10.07 Counterstrike and ending after 10.20 Unending, detailing the progression of Daniel and Vala’s relationship.

All Vala wanted was to conquer the challenge Daniel had unwittingly presented. Once she had her victory, she’d drop it and Daniel wasn’t sure he could survive that.

My notes:

Told from Daniel’s perspective, a small behind the scenes look at Daniel and Vala’s relationship as it evolved after Counterstrike onward. I love the introspective yet cautious way Daniel navigates his need to be around Vala without challenging his comfort zone or confronting his feelings too directly. He’... Read more

My notes:

Really well-paced and has excellent mission storylines. I love the premise of Vala being drawn into the fold right after Prometheus Unbound by Hammond. I always thought we never got to see enough of Vala and the way she so seamlessly integrated into SG-1. I love how this slight venture into AU territory makes the beginning... Read more

My notes:

Every old school P/Ter knows this one. Following Tom and B’Elanna throughout season 2 and 3, and filling in the gaps (or connecting the dots, as it were) between episode scenes, we’re shown their evolving friendship in much more depth than the show ever did. It’s head-canon for me now and I’m at peac... Read more

Looking for a star to pray on, or wish on, or something like that.
Maybe Vala and Daniel would be less complicated if they knew what they actually wanted.
